GA Review

edit
This review is transcluded from Talk:Pelagic thresher/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. It is an interesting, well written article. My concerns are the following:

  • "but can be distinguished by the white of its belly not extending over the bases of its pectoral fins." - I don't like this wording as it is clumsy but I could not think of a variant. Perhaps you can.
  • Changed to "...by the dark, rather than white, color over the bases of its pectoral fins"
  • I removed some wikilinks that went to disambig pages, eg. lifespan. Linking to a disambig page is rarely justified.
  • OK
  • I am a little concerned about all the fish terms (WP:JARGON). For the most part you have done a good job of explaining, but any more you can do would be great.
  • Not sure what can be done; changed "labial furrows" to just "furrows", since that's what they are.

Article on hunting strategy

There's an interesting new article from PLOS ONE: Thresher Sharks Use Tail-Slaps as a Hunting Strategy. The article's images can be uploaded and used on Wikipedia as they're under a Creative Commons Attribution License. mgiganteus1 (talk) 04:28, 11 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Awful main photo

edit

Picture of a dead endangered species can be considered distasteful and I agree. 90.243.46.207 (talk) 16:53, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
